Possible Olaf buffs?

BustyChicksFTW·May 20, 2016·1 votes·563 views

Hello dear League of Legends community,

Since you are much more active than me on the forums I'd like to inquire if the devs ever mentioned any possible Olaf buffs. I find that he occupies a very specific niche in which he is severely outclassed by the other contenders like Jarvan or Jax. I find him to be quite lackluster in the dueling/anti-adc niche. I never see him played and worst of all, I get reported for trolling when I try to play him. Yes, I'm very serious.

It's getting ridiculous. I don't want to get reported for playing my favorite champion. I got a Brolaf skin too. I can't let that go to waste :(!

Thank you very much, BustyChicksFTW

P.S. Expecting hatred.

Olaf is one of those champions that has an Ult that is broken while not being super strong at them moment. If you know the difference between these 2 words this will make sense. You can't have Olaf too strong or this broken Ult will quickly make him an OP champion if couple with champ buffs. His ult simply has no counter play and thus is hard to buff around.

He did however receive that armor mr buff a little while ago didnt he?

Yeah, 10 armor/mr when the ult ISN'T active.

Not much of a big deal imo.

Hopefully they fix the double axe bug before people complain about him again.

he is not bad when used in right situation I think. if you wanna some more buffs, chances rioters are gonna make olaf shity after the buff is really high.

He was just buffed and is now at a 50% win rate.

He's quite strong at the moment.

Why is a 50% win rate considered "quite strong"?

EndlessSorcererMay 20, 20161 votes

50% win rate is generally considered "balanced" (though there are obviously other factors).

However, Olaf is not weak nor in need of buffs. He is definitely viable at the moment and fulfills his role quite well.

Considering Ghost and Black Cleaver (his main Summoner Spell and core item) were both buffed recently, he's quite happy.

Olaf is okay but he needs to snowball. Once mid to late game comes around he offers no hard cc, or real aoe damage and he isn't as tanky as other champs.

He has to build tanky and if you are gonna build tank you are better off playing a tankier champ with more cc or Mundo.
